Downy woodpecker was going from gall to gall on various wild rose bushes, pecking at them, and presumably eating the wasp larvae.

Finally got a chance to revisit the site of https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/143630146 and sampled another three galls. Figuring they'd all be empty already, I sectioned one in the field and lucked out on a live adult female! Large, intact specimen with tons of golden setae, beautiful. Leaning Q. macrocarpa on the host for all three, probably the original find as well.
Been digging around on Gallformers trying to find something similar and the closest I've gotten is Cynips heldae (https://www.gallformers.org/gall/1368) - but the host/range/gall location don't match. Very similar structure, though.

Another Gall specimen on Crimson Spire Oak (Q. robur x Q. alba). I received a call about "tons of galls" on their Crimson Spire Oak. These trees have been in the ground since 2006 and galls were only noticed in the spring of this year. Some appear older... maybe a full season.

On Crimson Spire Oak (Q. robur x Q. alba) Gall photos included. This adult emerged as I cut into gall. Some gall wasps on tree have already started emerging. Tree has only been in the ground for 2 years, new home development.
